Professor Scott said: “This is a wonderful student residence and because of the first phase which opened last year it’s already got a reputation for Glyndŵr University for the quality of the rooms. And this block has an added function in that from a number of windows students can watch the football!

“I am delighted about the ownership of Wrexham Village, the quality of the building, the comfort and the excellent feedback about it which we’re getting from students.”

Mr Roberts said: “We’re delighted to have worked in partnership to ensure provision of modern, energy-efficient accommodation that fulfils the needs of Glyndŵr University and its students.

“I hope that Wrexham Village will become an iconic building which everyone connected with the town can feel proud of.”
